I’ve been wanting to make this old school BBQ chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy for some time now. I flashed back to the mid-1970s, to my earliest memory of a cookout, and chicken. Chicken legs, then. Grilled and sauced with off-the-shelf Kraft BBQ sauce. That’s it. Done. Well, this is my take on the classic I remember from 40 years ago. I used split chicken breasts because that’s what we prefer, but any cut of chicken would work just fine. Just chicken and BBQ sauce. Summer.
Not Fancy. Just Delicious.
I didn’t do anything fancy to this old school BBQ chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy. A little oil, salt and pepper and that’s it. No brine, no fru-fru spices. Just simple flavors. With your Big Easy (and specially if you add a Bunk Bed basket) you can cook up a big batch of chicken ahead of time for a picnic or family get-together.

It’s always a good idea to keep a few spare grease trays on hand for your Char-Broil Big Easy.
Old School BBQ Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Instructions
- Fire up your Big Easy.
- Very lightly oil the chicken. Just a splash and rub it around the chicken.
- Salt and pepper the chicken and place in the Big Easy basket.
